Passport : waiting
BRP : waiting
I think we will have to wait another 2 to 3 weeks atleast in the light of the fact that UKBA current pace is processing 5 days biometrics in 1 month. It is frustrating I know but can you do anything else apart from waiting and cursing them?
What the h*ell is happening with this UKba b*astards. They're holding he*ll a lot of applications and its a clear indication that they're telling indirectly it's better for lot of people to get the f*uck out of this country...
Having such a huge back log their are f*ucking the Olymbics visas for f*uck sake having taken all payments from PSW... that is why they take 1 month ( 5 day bio metric difference)
My time line
Date of Application : 10 feb 2012
Acknwledgement letter (dt) : 14 Feb 2012
Payment cleared : 16 Feb 2012 (got confirmation letter on request made to Natwest on my dd payment
Acknowledgment letter (received in post) : 19 Feb 2012
Bio metric letter (dt) : 18 Apr 2012
Bio metric letter (received in post) : 23 Apr 2012
Bio metric registered (same day, eve 4.03 pm) : Earls court, London
In your case, In fact for you you got to know a reason that they sent to wrong address and that is why the delay for bio metric... wherein in my case i dont know the reason for the delay in bio metric but still they dont really care about Date of Application and upload the file in the system for a case worker ( work queue) on considering the date of bio metric registration.
Unfortunately, this year due to employment routes closure massive people applied during Mar 20-Apr 5 in order to extend their stay and take employment and that is why there is a backlog, many people from the time line ( Feb 3rd week to Mar 2nd week) would have got their bio metric done by Mar last week and following weeks.... so, we'll be down under the work queue ( on seeing their pace in terms of application process), i guess it will take solid 2 to 3 months from now for bio metric registered dates ( apr 13 - Apr 24).
I also heared that UKba giving more perference to Olymbic visas rather considering the PSW visas ( due to the fact of more business) because they already got the money from PSW applications.
